Visual-studio – Change TFS source control mapping in Visual Studio 2013

source-control-explorertfsvisual studiovisual-studio-2013

I have multiple solutions that were previously mapped to a hosted TFS. Their local mapping was defined as well and all the source code was up-to-date locally. I have since discontinued my TFS subscription and started using visualstudio.com as my TFS server.

I went into one of the solutions, deleted the *.vssscc files from the solution and the *.vspscc files from each nested project. When I open the solution in VS 2013, the output window gives me a message saying the the original TFS (unsubscribed now) is not available and that the solution is open offline.

As a result, when I choose the "Change source Control" option, it first asks me to log in to the old TFS whose credentials are no longer valid.

Furthermore, it tells me that the local directory I am trying to map to the new TFS is already mapped to the old TFS. How can I remove this mapping without having access to the old TFS?

Not sure if this works if you're offline, but you can remove the mapping by opening the Manage Workspaces area in Source Control Explorer (click on the ... option of the dropdown to the right of Workspace:)

Manage Workspaces -> Select your workspace -> Edit -> Remove or change your mapping.
